I don’t understand how that would work, everything runs out at different rates. Something like eggs, sure, just get a dozen every week. But things like mayo, laundry detergent, tofu, cheese, etc., these all need to be re-bought at very different random times.
It works because I’m only one person. Not buying for a full family. I’m definitely not going through giant packs of cheese and laundry detergent at random times.
For me it worked with a family as well, given that I do all the cooking.
A big part of it is I buy in bulk when possible. Not only do I have a large stock of laundry detergent but I have a chest freezer with large stock of meat.
I don’t need a list for Costco runs because it’s every few months and the things I’m low on are top of mind. Also, I try to buy ahead and keep them in stock so no big deal if I miss something and have to go back a couple months later.
what I buy at the grocery is much smaller and dominated by things I buy every week
Eggs, milk, bread, produce every week. Meat if it’s not in the chest freezer. Double it if a kid is home from college
Mayo is from Costco. Normal size,
Believe it or not, they’re the only ones I know who carry kewpie mayo. So I’ll get it and an extra to keep in stock, and worry about it next Costco run. If I forget, no big deal, we can go without mayo or I can get something on next grocery run
I do use a recipe manager, which can import recipes from any URL, and can generate a categorized grocery list. If I want a recipe, it’s probably there, so I’ll look at that list

I don’t see how that answers the scenario i posed, but hey do what works for you
